Manufacturer Narrative

C22 and d17 were selected under imdrf investigation findings and imdrf cause conclusions respectively since there is no code to describe the term "allowed deviation/tolerances for cutting guides".A batch record review indicates no discrepancies.A slightly offset hole can have the following cause: the cutting guides are not 100% evenly positioned on the carrier , according to raw material is -+ 1 mm deviation is allowed & in our technical drawings are also cutting specifications of the wafer+- 1 mm allowed, if both the position of the cutting guide on the carrier and cutting process on the machine move within allowed tolerances by +-1 mm, this could result in a total of +-2 mm deviation.Registration of the complaint and the analysis of the case: the defect shown in the picture shows us that the 30 mm hole is present and any large cut-out was secured to the maximum, so we classify the complaint as uncritical, because the patient can use the wafer from 30 mm to 43 mm.Corrective action(s) - no corrective action required, the defect on the bag cannot be corrected because is single-use product and besides does not need the correction because in all large the cuttability is guaranteed.Sensitization of the employees if the hole on the wafer does not move approved tolerance range to sort out the bags/wafer.Supplier investigation report attached to child investigation record.The investigation associated with related event record has been approved and was complete.No additional action is required, and this complaint will be closed.This issue will be monitored through the post market product monitoring review process.To date no additional information has been received.Should additional information become available, a follow-up report will be submitted.Fda registration number: reporting site: 1049092.Third party manufacturing site (for life): 3003759552.
